NATO UN Resolution Proposal

NATO wants the UN Sceurity Council to make the following decisions:

(1) The free people of Iran were suddenly attacked by the forces of the Soviet Union. This attack was carried out without any reason and had nothing to do with the Right of Self-defense that is guaranteed by the UN. Therefore the United Nations condamn the outbreak of violence in Central Asia by the USSR.

(2) The UN Security Council wants the Armed Forces of the USSR to withdraw immediately and unconditioned from the territory of Iran. The people of Iran suffer due to the occupation by an atheist nation which is not only an enemy of Liberty but also an attacker.

(3) The UN also condamns the Attack War that the Soviet Army makes. The International Military Tribunal in Nuremberg 1946 has not declared this kind of war as Crime to appease this kind of policy again.

(4) If the Soviet Union will not accept the conditions of the UN Security Council Resolution the International Community is given the right to discuss and debate further answers on this topic.

Transcript of Maos latest speech at Tienanmen:

[...]and the latest preposterous claims by NATO (jim panse) concerning the Iran-question and SEATO (iron chancellor) ideas on recruitment areas for regional conflicts is merely sand thrown into the eyes of the communist world that [...]
The Soviet Red Army was ordered to set foot in Teheran. There, it now prevents lawlessness and the international community should be gratefull for such costly operations and [...]
As to the Vietnam-question, China and the US have already agreed upon peaceful terms to the conflict. Besides the fact that our two nations don't need the help of other leaders to resolve their diplomacy, reraising the question could be considered as unnecessary clogging up of the public channels [...]
While evaluating fossile fuel sites in terms of "nuclear strikability" sounds desperate, just mentioning it rings alarms all over.
China will use its veto in any UN Council against URSS foreign politics.

OOC:

we should establish international monitoring (i.e. reviewing someone's turn after it's been posted).

How come I don't like the idea? Anyway, if England was to have a fight for Hong Kong, wouldn't they try to ship troops there from elsewhere? Or didn't chinese troops fight in Korea, russian specialists (AA equipment etc) in Vietnam and Australians in the Bosphorus in WW1? Do I need to say more?


Tiantian modao laizhe bi jian. [Sharpening the knife day after day, intruders must be annihilated.]

[Iron Chancellor]

Well, I guess you're right. It would work better in theory than in practice.

Chinese troops did fight in Korea, because they were supporting a Communist regime with which Mao sympathized. The reason the conflict stopped there and did not escalate was because it was no war, but a police action to enforce the independence of South Korea.

Russia never sent advisors to North Vietnam, weaponry yes, soldiers/advisors no.

Australia was a part of the British empire, and as the mother country was at war, so was the entire empire.

[EmuGod]

Remember that a security council resolution needs aunanimous vote by all members to pass and there's no way I'm voting for my troops to withdraw so you might as well give it up. That was Truman's gamble in the Korean War. Had the Soviets not boycotted the Security Council, their vote would have stopped the resolution to fight in South Korea. The Chinese weren't members yet so they couldn't veto Truman's successful resolution. So sorry, but the UN resolution thing just cannot work.

[Iron Chancellor]

Well, what I mean is that if the USA and NATO decide upon sanctions/military action vs. any nation, SEATO must aid and uphold there actions as a sister democracy.

FROM JANUARY 30-FEBRUARY 2 Prometheus WILL TAKE CONTROL OF SEATO

[jim panse]

do not believe that the US and the NATO will step down. we are here to make the world more peaceful, to support Liberty, Freedom and Democracy together with our East Asian Allies. Do NOT believe that the West will accept this unilateral aggression against one of our friends and a member of the international community.

After talks with te Arab Legue, the USSR has agreed to allow the Arab League to try and capture Shiraz from the remaining forces of the Shah in exchange for the full recognition of Teheran as part of Iran and the removal of all embargoes against the USSR. The Arab League may not attempt to capture Shiraz but the USSR will capture it if it is not in Arab League hands by the end of the month. Soviet diplomats are preparing to draw up a new border plan to divide Iran into two new countries. This was a mutual agreement that both powers have come to.

[tanelorn]

True, but only if the international community agrees with this compromise. I do not wish to offend anybody. Consider Shiraz to be a humanitarian haven for those pious muslims that feel so in a secular Iran. The Siites rights will be thoroughly respected, international observers are wellcome.

[FiGu]

The United States of America supports the Arab Leagues that UN should send International Observers.

And a Great Bump on Tanelorn. 5 days now....

[EmuGod]

The USSR will not mind if Chinese observers come to watch the border, but no one else.

Iron Curtain- First Arab turn

The Arab league welcomes UN observers, irrespective of nationality. So, if the Chinese can find a way to get there in time, it is ok with me.

After a number of bombruns, the city of Shiraz was secured from rebel factions by an Elite Saudi paratrooper unit, that used Riyadh airfield to gain the 1 extra tile to paradrop next to Shiraz. Remember, airfields have the railroad move bonus in civ2, and paras can use airfields to paradrop. A tactical move Saudi generals feel exceptionaly proud for.

Iraqi mechanized divisions cleared the Zagros mountains of now hostile rebels, fleeing the Soviets.

Following the liberation of Shiraz, that was welcome by the majority of the population, the Rebel leader of Ethiopia, Haile Selassie threatened to invade Sudan (Rebel AI declared war on me). Sudanese and Yemenite forces swiftly encircled Addis Abeba. They will not enter the city however, unless they are fired uppon.

There they encountered a Somali detachment (AI Neutrals), already fighting against the Ethiopians (Damaged).
